The Summer of Christmas
Book Feature - The Summer of Christmas by Juliet Giglio and Keith Giglio
HBL Note: Christmas is probably my favorite holiday of the year. My parents did an incredible job of making the holiday feel magical without being overly commercial. I was also a kid who loved surprises (I still do as an adult!) so I would never go searching for my Christmas gifts around the house. They would just magically appear under the tree and in the stockings overnight. Anything I asked for, that would come from my parents. Any gifts I didn’t ask for, those came from Santa (because mom and dad knew me better than any stranger! ha!) When I woke up Christmas morning music would already be playing, candles would be lit, and (as I got older) coffee would be brewing. The magic continued well into adulthood and I look forward to recreating that magic with my son in the coming years. But, no one loves Christmas as much as my mom. She can’t pass up a Christmas store, no matter the time of year.
All that to say, The Summer of Christmas made me think of my mom. I’ll probably pass this book along to her when I’m done. The story brings you behind the scenes of making a TV Christmas movie (another love I inherited from my mom!) Scroll down to read all about THE SUMMER OF CHRISTMAS by Juliet Giglio and Keith Giglio, a husband and wife writing duo.

From the publisher:
July is a great time to celebrate Christmas! Don't miss this adorable romcom from Hollywood screenwriters who bring you into the wild world of making those TV Christmas movies:
A hopeful LA screenwriter behind the scenes of her first exciting successful film
A dramatic face-to-face with her first love―who broke up with her five years ago at Christmastime (the jerk!)
The magic, mystery, and hijinks of making a Christmas movie―in the middle of summer!
A second chance for everyone to get things right, finally
Up-and-coming LA screenwriter Ivy Green is about to have her life turned upside down. Her movie, based on her and her high school sweetheart, Nick Shepherd, is being filmed in her hometown. In the middle of summer, during the month of July, the production crew creates a winter wonderland Christmas.
Nick is less than thrilled to see Ivy after all this time. Especially because in her movie version of their relationship, she kills his character off. To complicate matters, Ivy isn't sure of her relationship with the producer, the town is overflowing with movie stars and adoring fans, and worst of all―the actress playing Ivy develops a crush on the real Nick! Now, with renewed and confusing feelings about Nick, Ivy is determined to see if there is anything left between them, but in the end, Ivy will need to re-write her life script to finally get everything she ever wanted.
